Invitrogen™ Human EEF2K, GST Tag Recombinant Protein

Description

For maximum recovery please spin prior to use. Unless noted below, aliquots of the 5 μg, 10 μg and 20 μg sizes of kinase are not recommended as materials can be used in original packaging until exhausted. For larger sizes, the number of freeze/thaws may be reduced by preparing aliquots, aliquots below 20 μL are not recommended. Please never store a kinase diluted. If properly stored at -80C, this product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of purchase. Protein Form: Full Length

EEF2K is a highly conserved Serine/Threoning kinase in the calmodulin signaling pathway whose activity is increased in cancers including breast cancer. EEF2K (eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase) is a threonine kinase that regulates protein synthesis by controlling the rate of peptide chain elongation. Up activation, by a variety of upstream kinases including AMPK or TRPM7, EEF2K phosphorylates the elongation factor EEF2 at a single site. Then, EEF2K renders EEF2 unable to bind ribosomes and inactive - in turn, the rate of protein synthesis is reduced.
